Chapter 14

Percy's POV

I grumbled under my breath. The chosen one? What was he chosen for? Being cowardly and dramatic, sounds alot like zues. I looked at my quest mates all walking in silence,Thalia and Leo seemed to get closer, Bianca and Luke aswell, Hermione's arm was linked with mine and Nico was trailing behind us kicking rocks on the path.

Nico growled, he seemed more angry. I dont judge him though, i would've killed Zach if they haven't held me back. "What now? We charge into battle with only 7 of-"

"Make that eight" Kaden yelled running up to us, we all just stared at him in shock "It's just because i want to do something with my life and not sit back and watch people save the world"

I nodded my head at him, we need all the people we can get. "Is there anyone willing to help?"

He pursed his lips and looked at me uncertainly "There's this girl Denise Jones, D.J for short, she's a good fighter we can go ask her. There's 70% chance she'll help us"

I lifted my eyebrow "The other 30?"

He hesitated, "she's loyal to the legion so she might trick us into handing our selves in"

"I'll take that seventy" Hermione spoke up from besides me, i gave her a look "We need all the help we can get Perce and besides three of us can go with him to recruit people while the other four goes ahead with your plan." Oh, my plan totally forgot about that, it's really a plan that might not work out.

"Who's willing to go with Kaden?" I asked out loud.

Luke, Bianca and Hermione stepped foward. "You four started this. Finish it" Luke said certainly. I nodded my head gratefully, i kissed Hermione's forehead then looked at Kaden.

"Is there any fields i can destroy here?"

He grinned "Zach has a big backyard. He wouldn't mind if you rearrange it for him" I threw him a grin.

"Would love to. We better get going, we'll meet here in an hour"

Kaden wasnt lying when he said his back yard was huge wait... is that a golf court?

My plan you ask? I haven't tried this before but im going to resurrect the dead...yeah we're that extra.

Leo was bouncing up in down in excitement, he was really looking foward to this when i honestly wasn't. I took a deep breath. "Nico your the death master, what do i do?"

Nico looked taken back, "What?"

I glared at him "You always rise people from the dead"

He glared right back "Im just going to enlighten your day and say i raise ghost corpse, not bloody resurrect anyone'

"True, true" Leo and Thalia chorused.

I huffed but jumped over the gate, the others following lead. We began walking to the center of the clearing kicking away golf equipment and removing the stick thingies from the ground, you can tell im not into golf.

I sat crossed legged on the ground, patting the empty spots next to me so they can sit down. Once everyone was seated a note floated out of existence.

Thalia picked it up and groaned. "It says let Nico read it out loud"

"That's not fair" Leo whined.

"Oh shut up Valdez" Nico snapped before snatching the paper away from Thalia's grasp. "Steps to raising the dead...step 1- sit in a circle amd hold hands"

"Um ew boy cooties"

"I hate humans"

"What happens if i "accidentally" burn them?"

"Just hold handd gods damit" I hissed.

Nico cleared his throat "Step 2- think about who you want to raise, said person can only be dead for over a year"

"What about Beckendorf first?" Thalia thouht out loud. We all nodded in agreement.

"Whatever you do, do not think about their death" Nico warned reading off the paper.

We all closed our eyes and thoight hard about Charles,about that capture the flag game, the fourth of july and when he helped me craft some things in the arena.

There was a gasp heard, we opened our eyes and a yell was heard "Dont let go! It like an ouja board"

"Percy?" I nodded my head at him.

"Beckendorf" I smiled a watery smile.

"Lets continue the resurrection, step 3- picture him in solid form and not just ghost. P.S no need to close your eyes"

Thats what we did, feeling a clench in my guy Beckendorf turned into solid fleah and bones.

"W-what did you guys do?" he breathed out.

"We-"i gestured to the four of us "Were blessed by powerful beings and it gave us gifts"

"Like this" Leo said happily.

"Sorry i don't know you" Beckendorf dryly put in making Leo frown.

"His an alley. Don't worry" Thalia soothed.

"So Beck step over the circle and we'll try that again" Nico piped up.

And lets just say that was the most difficult thing ive ever done.

Luke's POV

When Void raised me from the dead, i thought i was good as gone but when Percy found me lets just say that it scared me shitless, what if he hated me? What if he'll kill me and do things worse than Void will ever do.

I jogged over to the three demigods who were walking ahead of me. "So this D.J...who's her godly parent" Bianca and Hermione gave me a sharp look "I was just asking relax"

"Telling a girl to calm down is like trying to baptize a cat, wrong thing to do mate" A girl spoke up from behind us.

Both Kaden and i squeaked in surprise, making Bianca snort very unlady like and Hermione stiffle a laugh. "Uh D.J what are you doing here?" Kaden nervously stuttered.

"I live here death spawn, what are you doing here?" She shouldered a bow and quiver of arrows and brushed stray strands of gold hair behind her ear.

"We wanted to ask a question" Bianca said.

She gave her a side look before brushing past. "Look kid-"

"Your the same age as us" Kaden argued

"-I dont have time for this kind of bullshit so say what you want and go" she continued.

I took a deep breath "Theres a war against Void and if we don't do anything about it the world will end as we know it"

"One If there was a war the olympians would've told us and two Void is a myth" She countered.

"The olympians are also myths if you've forgotten" Hermione argued.

D.J rolled her golden eyes "Whatever helps you sleep at night, Void was a myth of the myths."

"Cant argue with that..." Bianca trailed off.

"Look" Kaden snapped. It was clear him and this girl had some beef "The eight of us need all the help we can get. That guy we call leader is such a coward that he didn't want to help us"

D.J stopped walking and pursed her lips. "Which is why i voted against him" She replied loosely and continued to walk.

I grabbed her elbow and forced her to stop. "Hey, don't go. I've seen him in real life and he is 100 % real. Trust me"

She roughly shoved my grasp off of her arm, she turned sharply punching me on the face. I fell to the ground with an omph, "Ill go with you." She hissed "Just don't touch me"

"So where are we going again?" Bianca asked making D.J scoff. Bianca gave her a glare and couldn't help but galre as well. Guess im getting soft.

"Zach's backyard" Kaden shrugged.

"Why is he over there for?" D.J asked bewildered.

"Its time for plan B since Zach didn't except our offer." I grinned maniacally.

"Which is?" she rolled her eyes.

"Rising the dead. In style"
